"INTRODUCTION: Only 60 miles on an incredibly detailed body off frame, rotisserie restoration! This is one of just 1,919 SS454s produced in 1971 Finished in its factory Mulsanne Blue, this is the best looking Monte Carlo I've ever seen! With a built 454, 4-speed and a posi rear, it's as exciting to drive as it is to look at.
EXTERIOR: Absolutely beautiful from every angle! The body was taken down to a bare shell and placed on a rotisserie, allowing it to be restored with precision throughout. The handsome body lines are crisp, straight, and the fit is excellent. It's been upgraded with a functional cowl induction hood with racing pins, and the addition of round marker lights gives it a unique, tasteful touch. It's been completely repainted its original Mulsanne Blue (code 26-26 on the cowl tag) and finished in a deep, high-gloss clear coat without a vinyl top for a clean, sleek look. Every piece of exterior chrome and trim has been replaced, along with all new glass and weatherstripping. It sits on new 15-inch chrome SS wheels wrapped in reproduction Goodyear tires, completing the classic muscle car stance perfectly.
INTERIOR: The white interior is a stunning contrast to the blue exterior! It's crisp, clean, and restored like new from top to bottom. From the fresh carpet to the new headliner and everything in between, it's beautifully finished. It's been upgraded with very comfortable ProCar reclining sport seats, while the rear seat is upholstered to match. It also features new reproduction side panels, armrests, and window cranks. A factory center console houses a Hurst 4-speed shifter. The dash pad, instrument panel, and factory SS gauges are all new, with an added oil pressure gauge neatly mounted below. A retro stereo sits in the factory location, and a sport steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column. It's finished off with all new GM seatbelts and SS embroidered mats. And the rearview mirror is even new so you can watch everyone else trying to keep up!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Don't let this show quality engine bay fool you- it packs a serious punch! The 454 has been completely performance rebuilt. Up top, it features an aluminum intake, dual feed Holley carb, and a fully functional cowl induction system feeding it fresh air. Spark comes from an MSD ignition system, and it's dressed with chrome valve covers. Up front, it has a chrome alternator, all new brackets, pulleys, and power steering components. It also features a new power brake system with a cadmium plated booster. The details are just as impressive-new hoses, wiring, and wiper motor. It runs cool with the correct radiator and shroud, and even has a Delco battery topper for a factory look. It's complete with hood insulation, cowl seal, vents, and functioning washer squirters. Clean, highly detailed, and built to perform!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk lives up to the rest of the car! Under the lid and in the jamb are painted the same glossy blue as the exterior. Inside, the metal is pristine with a neatly applied spatter finish. It's complete with reproduction decals, weatherstrip, and trunk mat. No expense was spared- a fifth matching chrome SS wheel with a Polyglas reproduction tire is included, along with a reproduction jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: As impressive underneath as it is on top! The body was lifted off the chassis and flipped on its side, allowing for a thorough restoration. The floors are pristine metal, painted body color and clear coated for a show quality finish. The chassis has been completely prepped and painted a smooth gloss black. It's equipped with the F41 suspension, including front and rear sway bars and boxed rear control arms. The steering and suspension have been fully rebuilt. The brake system has also been completely redone with front disc brakes, all new lines, and new e-brake cables. The fuel system is entirely new, including the tank and lines. A great sounding dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers exits through correct SS tips. Looking up at the motor, it's spotless Chevy Orange with a new starter. The Muncie M22 ""Rock Crusher"" 4-speed has been fully rebuilt with a new gear set and Hurst linkage. A new Denny's driveshaft connects to a heavy duty Moser 9-inch rear with a Muscle Pack 4.11 posi unit. The attention to detail is outstanding, it's unbelievably clean underneath. Take a look for yourself!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.
CONCLUSION: The restoration truly speaks for itself and we have restoration photos showing just how much detail and effort went into this build. Opportunities like this are rare. There may be other Monte Carlos out there, but they aren't this one!
